This webinar focuses on beginning
early for transition planning and how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) may
help with academics and employability skills. UDL can make learning accessible
for a wide range of learners. Many teachers use UDL without necessarily calling
it by that name; it is really the application of best teaching practices for different
ways of learning.

This training helps parents:

recognize what types of UDL learning engage and
help their child

how to encourage and advocate for UDL use in the
general class curriculum and in their child’s IEP.

These on-demand learning modules
may spark a fresh approach to your work, as individuals and as members of your
Parent Center team. Your Parent Center builds
community capacity on a daily basis-but how easy is it to describe what it is
and exactly how it works? Can we do it more effectively? Can we use community
capacity building in ways we haven’t realized or explored?

The principles and practices
described on the MFLN website have “broad application to families, communities,
and situations”. We would add “individuals” to that list, as well as your
parent center; there is a module on applying the practices at work!

Self-paced with interactive elements

Each module has a menu showing the topic for
each screen.

Video or moving elements are closed-captioned
and each screen has a transcript.

The training modules are free; access requires a
registration on Military OneSource, which hosts the e-learning platform.

Note: MFLN’s usual audiences are service providers working with military families and military families themselves. Some audience members are military-connected professionals (Exceptional Family Member Program and School Liaison) and others work in social services, education, and Health and Human Services-funded programs. MFLN offers Continuing Education credits for attendance at live webinars. Resources include articles, webinars, podcasts and blogs.
